I really like the twisty rocks and the comp here - very tactile.

Tarn? That's a puddle.

This is a lot of very interesting textures and shapes in one frame. The reflections at the bottom take it to another level.

I had no idea this place even existed until seeing this thread. Your image looks much nicer than most of what all I just found online. Nice work.

Thank you, Michael. The folded rocks in that canyon are quite incredible.

Thank you. It's quite a little journey through this slot canyon. I don't have much experience photographing this type of canyon so I really had to take my time on the way in and out.

Great colors and textures and the morning light does it justice.

Thanks, Jameel. This was nice to come across!

Hey Kurt, this is so cool. That water with the slight reflection really makes you pause. I didn't notice it until my 2nd or 3rd look.

Thank you. It was quite a nice area to hike through.
